1.  Board Overview 

The FPB-RA4E1, a Fast Prototyping Board for the RA4E1 MCU Group,

 

enables users to seamlessly 

evaluate the features of the RA4E1 MCU group and develop embedded systems applications using Flexible 
Software Package (FSP) and the e

2

 studio IDE. Users can use on-board features along with their choice of 

popular ecosystems add-ons to bring their big ideas to life. 

The key features of the FPB-RA4E1 board are categorized in two groups (consistent with the architecture of 
the board) as follows: 

MCU Native Pin Access 

 

 

R7FA4E10D2CFM MCU (referred to as RA MCU) 

 

100 MHz, Arm

®

 Cortex

®

-M33 core 

 

512 KB Code Flash, 8 KB Data Flash, 128 KB SRAM 

 

64-pin, LQFP package 

 

Native pin access through 2 x 50-pin male headers (not fitted) 

 

MCU current measurement point for precision current consumption measurement 

 

Multiple clock sources - Low-precision (~1%) clocks are available internal to the RA MCU. RA MCU 
oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals, providing precision 24.000 MHz (not fitted) and 32,768 Hz 
reference clocks are also available 

 

System Control and Ecosystem Access 

 

  Two 5 V input sources 

  USB (Debug, Full Speed) 

  External power supply (using 2-pin header) (not fitted) 

  Built-in SEGGER J-Link Emulator On-Board programmer/debugger (SWD) 

  User LEDs and buttons 

  Two User LEDs (green) 

  Power LED (green) (not fitted) indicating availability of regulated power 

  Debug/power LED (yellow) indicating power and the debug connection 

  One User button 

  One Reset button 

  Two popular ecosystem expansions 

  Two Digilent Pmod

TM

 (SPI, UART) connectors (not fitted) 

  Arduino

TM

 (Uno R3) connectors 

  MCU boot configuration jumper (not fitted)
